发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Only warn (/wɒ:n/) matches the source pronunciation of forewarn's -warn syllable exactly. Worn, sworn, born, corn and horn rhyme with /ɔːn/ (BrE) or /ɔːrn/ (AmE) and are spelling lookalikes here, not exact rhymes. Remember 'warn' and 'worn' look similar; check the vowel in your dictionary.
